SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 1\`|'o. 724,005, datedMarch 31, 1903.'

Application iiled September 17, 1902. Serial No. 123,710. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, EDWIN HALL, a'residentof Leroy, in the county of Genesee and StateA of NewYork, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Plow-Beam Attachments; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enabie others skilled in the art to whichit pertains to make and use the saine.

This invention relates to blow-beam attachments, and has for its objectto provide means for adjustably securing a standard for a jointer,wheel, or other like device in a iirm and secure manner to a plow-beam.

The invention consists in the construction hereinafter described, andpointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings,"Figure-l is a side view of a part of aplow-beam, showing astandard and means for securing it to the beam. Fig.2 is a plan View of the same. Fig. 3 is a section on line 3 3 of Fig. 2.Fig.

4 is a similar sectionshowin g a modified bearing-frame.' Fig. 5 is aview like Fig.: l, but showing the standard and its securing devices onthe opposite side of the beam. Figs. 6 and 7 are sectional views, on asmaller scale than the other. gures, showing a standard carrying a wheelin one figure, the standard being on one sideof the beam and in theotherfigure being on the opposite side of the beam. V

Numeral l denotes a plowrbeam having grooves 2 and ribs 3, separated byshoulders,

4this particular construction being unessen` tial.

5 denotes a bearing or bearing-frame having approximately the form of anoblique-angle parallelogram and having angular seats 6 to receive anangular standard 7. The said seats 6 extend outward from the generallevel of the frame and comprise each the parts 8,'

ings, as in Fig. 3.

itis illustrated as having a square section,

whichform is preferred,'though not essential.

,and 16 is a nut to draw the eyebolt and tightly secure'the standard inthe frame.

The construction provides for holding a jointer, wheel,or other standardin a posi- 6o tively secure manner, but which permits its easylengthwise adjustment. It also provides that the standard may be fixedto either side of the beam, (see Figs. 6 and 7,) and thus permit a Wheelto be supported to run either at the side of the beam, as usual, orimmediately under it to roll down loose manure, grass, straw, loose sod,and the like in the path of a jointer, colter, or plowshare.

It will beA seen from Figs. l and 5 that the 7o inclination ofzthestandard is reversed when changed from one side of the beam to theother, whereby it may either push or trail, according to its adjustment.

I n Fig. 4 frame 5 has but one angular bear- 75 ing 6, formed by parts8, instead of two bear- This construction maybe used; but theconstruction with two bearings is preferred.

Having thus described my invention, what 8o Icl'aim as new, and desire tsecure by Letters Patent, is- I Y i 1. In combination with a' plow beam.grooved on each side the standard-holding frame having an angularseatincli'ned to the 85 p' frame and to the beam andv thereby adapted tohold a standard .inclined to the length of the beam', the standardfitting the seat, and

.having an angular eye to receive the standard, said frame beingapplicable to either side roo Of a plow-beam, and a Washer havingprojections to tit the beam-grooves under either adjustment of theframe.

3, The open frame having approximately the form of an Oblique-angledparalielogram and having the elevated parts S to for-m seats for astandard, in combination with a standard and with means adapted tosecure the standardand frame to a plowbeam, said frame having the lipsll.

4. The Open frame having approximately the form of an Obliqne-angiedparallelogram and having the elevated parts 8 to form seats *for astandard, in combination with a standard and-With means adapted tosecure the I5 specification in the presence of two snbscribzo ingWitnesses.
